Advancing Multi -Scale Simulation Methods for Biological Membrane Systems

Coarse-grained (CG) modeling of macromolecules is largely used in order to extend the spatial- and temporal scales covered by molecular simulations. This approach has key applications in material science, soft matter as well as biology. In this latter case, the study of processes involving membrane systems and proteins has fully benefitted from CG simulations. In particularly complex systems, a multi-scale approach can be used as a clever way to treat the model at different resolution levels.
